We continue to practice drawing realistic objects. All artists should be able to draw simple things like fruits, vegetables and risqué jugs.
Among other things, drawing such simple objects helps you learn to draw cleanly and add shadows. And today we will show you how to draw a peach .
Step 1
We start our drawing with a circular shape. In the future it will be the outline of a peach. This is very important step, and so don't be afraid to erase and draw again if you were unable to draw smooth circle for the first time. Don't try to draw a very dark circle, just use very light lines.
Step 2
At this stage we draw the stem and leaf. To make it more realistic, draw a smooth line under the stem, like in our example.
Step 3
At this stage we erase the lines inside the sheet so that it does not look transparent. We also have to draw Now we draw the veins on the leaf using some straight lines inside its outlines.
Step 4
And now we just need to work with the shadows. First we determine the light source and its direction. After that, we draw shadows where the light does not fall. The shadows in our case look like dense shading.
As we said earlier, such articles help artists understand line and shadow drawing. By the way, the techniques you learned in this lesson will be useful not only for drawing peaches, but also other fruits such as nectarines and even apricots.
You can draw a peach separately or as part of a still life on the table. To find ideas for other items to be part of your next still life painting, head over to our Food and Still Life categories. In these categories there are many extremely simple lessons that will help improve your drawing skills. We're not very tired. We count on you too, because we have a lot of new drawing lessons. Don't forget to visit our site often to practice your skills. See you later!
Dear artist friends, today is our mini-anniversary! Today there are already 100 publications on our website, and not even a month has passed since we took up this matter! And now we will enjoy ourselves - we will learn to draw peaches.
Why peaches and not champagne? It's simple - they are healthier and tastier! Moreover, it’s approaching summer, which means the season of delicious vitamins will soon begin. Get ready for the fruit festival - learn how to draw peaches using simple step-by-step instructions.
In general, drawing fruits is very easy - you draw a circle or an oval, and give it the characteristic shape of the fruit that you want to depict. Then you add a twig and a leaf, and that’s it - the fruit is ready. But this may seem like a simple task to those who are good at drawing and can express anything on paper with their eyes closed. But there are people who are far from visual arts, or beginners who have never had to draw before. And if you are one of the latter, then whole line The following publications are intended specifically for you. You can practice drawing various fruits and improve your level of creativity!
How to draw a peach
1 - It's very simple - draw a circle with a pencil.
2 - Based on this circle, draw the shape of a peach fruit.
3 - And divide the side of the fruit into two halves to make the peach easier to open and eat.
4 - There is a twig on the top of our sweetness.
5 - Add a circle to this branch to make it clear that the peach has been picked or cut from the tree.
6 - Our peach is very fresh, and this is evidenced by the leaf, which has not yet withered.
7 - Connect the leaf and twig.
8 - And add the outline of the leaf.
9 - Actually, that’s all. All that remains is to erase the circle from the first step and get ready for coloring.
10 - To make the peach juicy and temptingly tasty, color it.
The human imagination is a very interesting thing. While I was describing the instructions “How to draw a peach,” all this time it seemed to me that the rich smell of this fruit was in the air. Oh, we'll be partying soon!!
In this tutorial we will draw realistic peaches using the Gradient Mesh tool. This is an exciting activity that will require time and perseverance, but will give you useful equipment at your disposal. You'll learn how to create complex, realistic color transitions that still remain a vector (and therefore freely scalable). We recommend that you first watch the entire lesson and then begin to complete it.

Peach is a very tasty fruit with delicate light orange pulp. The homeland of peach is China. From there it penetrated into India and Persia, where it got its name. Peaches grow on peach trees. These are plants from the Rosaceae family. To make peach fruits tasty, you must not pick them unripe. Then they will not be hard and sour, but will be very soft and sweet. Peaches can be eaten fresh or canned. Peach oil is also used to produce various creams in the cosmetic industry. We will teach you how to draw a peach fruit with a pencil step by step, if you suddenly want to include it in any still life or draw it separately.
Stage 1. Draw a circle - a whole peach and half a circle - half a peach. In half we will show an elongated oval - a bone. And then we will gradually begin to outline the circle.
Stage 2. Draw half of a peach. We show the uneven edges of his cut line. Then we also draw a circle around the bottom of the peach.
Stage 3. On the whole peach we will show a groove on the side. This is a thick line running from top to bottom. On the half we will clearly mark the peach pit in the middle.
Stage 4. Now on the whole fruit we will highlight a place - a dimple where the peach was attached to a tree branch. And on the half we will show the back of the cut and on the bone we will highlight all the irregularities with winding lines.
Stage 5. Show the bumps on the peaches. These are thick lines on the surface.
Stage 6. Erase all sketch lines.
Stage 7. Let's color our peaches in soft pink or soft orange.
In today's master class for beginning artists, we will learn how to draw an incredibly juicy and tasty peach. Let's depict it in a cut form, where the bone and the cut-off part from the fruit itself will be visible, which can be placed next to it in the foreground. So in the drawing it will be immediately clear that this is a peach, and not an apricot or other fruit.
Let's start drawing a peach with colored pencils with a sketch, where we determine the location of the fruit, its size and small details.
Necessary materials:
- black thin marker;
- a simple pencil;
- eraser;
- paper;
- colored pencils in yellow, orange, red and brown tones.
Drawing steps:
We draw the silhouette of a peach, where a small piece will be cut off from it and lie next to it in the foreground. 
Now you can show the location of the bone with lines. Its shape and size. We will also clarify some lines. 
Draw the center of the peach, the indentation on the outside and the “jagged” edges of the small piece. We will also show part of the peel on the left side of the cut slice. 
The peach sketch is complete. Therefore, you can proceed to outlining all the lines with a black marker. In this case, all unnecessary parts can be erased with an eraser. 
Let's then start coloring the drawing. To do this, take a yellow pencil and use it to practically decorate the fruit. Let's leave the bone white.
An orange pencil can give a natural shade of peach. Now it looks juicy and bright. With this pencil we paint over the seed, which is located in the middle of the juicy fruit. We will also use it in the recess and other parts of the fruit to create depth and volume. 
A red pencil will give an even more juicy shade. We apply it to the same areas where the orange pencil was applied. 
We will decorate small areas on a small slice and on the fruit itself with a stone with a brown pencil. These are the places where there is and should be shadow. Such places include the pit in the middle of the peach, the outer notch, and small areas near the edges and in the lower parts of the design.
